The Dimensional Collective: General Lore

ImTired

Amazing_Goob Maybe you are me in the future...

Amazing_Goob

ImTired I'm not. It's more like... Backshadowing, about my past.

Amazing_Goob

RandomCommander Repurpose' Ixornvas,

Lets hope this is my idea of repurposing me, and not making me a AI.

ImTired

Amazing_Goob Woah, conspiracy theory alert.

ImTired

RandomCommander Sokeyr, feeling as though insulted, begins to wipe away the smile from his face...

"Let me ask you a question. How does one 'leave' Hell without the key? How does one 'enter'? And most of all, how does one comprehend where Hell is located without being it's keeper? These are questions only myself and the other, well at this point only 4, lords of Hell know. He cannot escape even if he defeats me. And in case you were wondering, the key is not a literal key, it is the power to understand how to open the gates of Hell, one which Ixornvas will not, and will never understand especially at the rate his intelligence is growing currently. You must trust me on this, would you not prefer Ixornvas feel the suffering he has dealt to everyone else?"

Taking another sip of the wine, he then dissolves it, and begins waiting once more for a response.

Amazing_Goob

ImTired Ixornvas feel the suffering he has dealt to everyone else?"

So I would feel weak and withery? Because the only bad I've done in m life is mess up terribli (On accident) and reck Constable-Unknown. More Backshadowing!

RandomCommander

ImTired I was actually going to explain Ixornvas's weakness from the perspective of Prime. Also, you did say:

ImTired would you not prefer Ixornvas feel the suffering he has dealt to everyone else?

Which led me to generate this sort of scenario.

RandomCommander

Amazing_Goob

Ixornvas ((Human side, just a reminder)) cloaks himself in a metallic white paint using his powers, and then sneaks past the corridor where he saw the first drone pass, heading in the opposite direction of the drone.

He keeps to the walls, moving as slowly as possible to minimize risk of detection. He turns a corner to meet with a translucent red wall - likely energy-based - blocking his path. Great, what now?

ImTired
The voice's grinding, unimpressed tone grew worse, Sokeyr can sense frustration instead of exasperation now.
"The entities we see as weak can sometimes have an uncanny ability to surprise a more powerful entity than it. The aspects of Ixornvas were not expected to even pierce through any of the defensive nodes we have in place, and yet now he is in the first shell of the fortress program. This creation of yours is growing with experience and increased potential - albeit the potential is constantly being misused for the detriment of everyone around him. To put this as an analogy - Ixornvas has a virus: his chaotic nature, and that 'Virus' is only growing stronger. The proper solution is to cleanse him, not quarantine him, and you must realize this is the best possible option sooner or later."

ImTired

Amazing_Goob You've taken over entire Empires, that has to account for some sort of pain. And even if it is not horrible pain, it is an irritating pain that will last until the end of eternity.

Amazing_Goob

ImTired I conquered 2 of them for like, a week.

RandomCommander

ImTired So basically having to listen to every voice of two or three different factions while trying to defend a research station from attackers that Ixornvas has a big vendetta against, which would probably be other Collective Core-AI or their assets? But he feels too weak so he must control the station defenses from the control room and yet both he and the room are constantly burning from hellfire (representing the pain he inflicted)?

That's a pretty frantic personal hell, actually.

ImTired

Amazing_Goob And yet you had evil intent, it doesn't matter that you've taken them over or even for how long, but with what intent you had.

Amazing_Goob

ImTired Yes, but there is a way to make me helpful instead of sitting around in hell.

ImTired

Amazing_Goob And that would be? I still think you don't deserve to be given a chance to be helpful, but I'm listening.

RandomCommander Yes, but Hell is made for each person and their own weakness, and each person is given there own mini-dimension to spend the rest of their horrible life, which is forever.

Amazing_Goob

ImTired Errr.. I will give you 2 hints: remove the bad stuff and RandomCommander knows from discord. As he said.

ImTired

RandomCommander ((I am so glad you were able to continue this RP, and I hope it will continue further, but I completely understand if you don't have enough time to continue it, just let me know and I'll try to quicken the RP a bit to make it fly by faster, but at the cost of it being a little less deep and thought meriting.))

RandomCommander

ImTired ((I really like that both "divine" entities have conflicting agendas, the tension will only make the final conflict a lot more epic. As for continuing the RP, I have to get some sleep, but I will try my best to keep the ball rolling tomorrow.))

ImTired

RandomCommander Beginning to grow impatient with the AI, he begins to sooth himself with nice thoughts, ruling the never ceasing flames in the 10th dimension... no one else to claim the title, and bringing peace back to Hell.

"To cleanse is to remove, and that would make you just as bad as he is. To quarantine him would mean to give him time to rethink his past decisions alone, and let the virus die on its own. I do not wish to cure him, but to re-focus his anger, rage and evil into something more... relevant. Viruses can only get worse if they have places to spread, and in Hell, everyone has their own space to let their own viruses die. If I cannot bring him to Hell to re-focus him however, I will be forced to, as you put it "cleanse" him and he will no longer threaten anyone. Either way, you know where he is do you not? I suggest you bring him to me... and we can deal with him here..."

Turning the other way, facing the opposite as the Crystal, he begins to peer off into the other dimensions through his powerful sight range, seeing Hell beginning to become rebellious as all of the Lords of Hell were off bringing the dead to Hell, and battling the Angels sent from the Heavens to capture souls that did more good than evil...

Amazing_Goob

RandomCommander He attempts to disrupt the shield and walk through it in a split second.

RandomCommander

ImTired
"Either I have somehow miscommunicated or you assumed that the process would destroy the entirety of his existence. If the latter, this is very incorrect. The definition of 'cleanse' I was referring to was 'to purify,' not 'to destroy.' I acknowledge that you want to retrieve the chaotic essence of Ixornvas for yourself, that is why I suggested a compromise should be made. We will extract the powerful, chaotic essence from your creation and hand it over to you, so you can deal with it as you see fit, and we will keep the remaining vessel and the remnant, 'humane' essence within it - as both these things can benefit the Collective."

Amazing_Goob

((Explain how Ixornvas will disrupt the "shield."))

Amazing_Goob

RandomCommander (He will send a small amount of Ma'at to overload the system and teleport through.)

Amazing_Goob

RandomCommander your creation

??????

Amazing_Goob

RandomCommander we will keep

Nope.

ImTired

RandomCommander Another smirk appears on Sokeyr's face, as he sees the selfish intent of the Collective...

"It seems we have quite a bit in common, but I don't just want his essence, I want to be the one to destroy him, and be the last person he sees. I propose a counter offer, bring him to me in his weakened state, and let me remove his essence myself, then you may feel free to do whatever you wish with the 'vessel'. Since we are both a bit selfish, why don't we be selfish together?"

Sokeyr, seeing he has found a race that can finally understand him becomes very pleased, and gestures towards the crystal to see if he wants anything, as Sokeyr can most likely form it.
